Dear Akshay Kar,
Let me clarify the application of various labor laws to be implemented by the contractor one by one.
A. Obligations on the part of PE:
1. First of all, you need to take registration from the Registering Officer of the area as you have engaged a contractor for your company.
2. You have to obtain a PF registration code if the number of your company's employees is twenty and above.
3. You need to get an ESI registration code if the number of your company's employees is ten and above, and your establishment is falling in the ESI Implemented area. Otherwise, the employees have to be covered under some insurance policy.
B. Obligations on the part of the Contractor
1. The PE will issue Form-V to the contractor who is required to obtain a license from the Licensing Officer of the area where he has engaged contractor labor.
2. The contractor will register his establishment with the Registering Officer of the area as he has engaged building workers and ensure to pay Cess @ 1% of the cost of construction to the Welfare Board of the state. The building workers will be issued an employment certificate if they wish to register as beneficiaries with the competent officer appointed by the state government.
3. The contractor has to obtain a PF registration code for the contract labor.
4. The contractor has to get an ESI registration code for the contract labor if his establishment is falling in the ESI Implemented area. Otherwise, the employees have to be covered under some insurance policy.

[QUOTE=Akshay Kar;2073821]Dear Sir,
My construction company has engaged contractors and, being the PE with the L License for 2000 strength to engage as contractual labor.
Could you guide me on the following:
- BOCW registration.
- Insurance for workers.
- PF.
Would the above be handled by our company or the contractor concerning the laborers?
